Phillies are in Miami tonight. Both teams are awful and out of it but someone has to win so I’m siding with the home team, Miami. Buchanan gets the start for Philadelphia and he has been terrible, posting an ERA of 13.91 and a WHIP of 3.00 over his last 3 games. Philadelphia is 1-11 in his last 12 road starts and they are 24-52 away from home. Franco and Howard are done for the remainder of the season for the Phillies. Conley gets the nod for the Marlins and they are 4-0 in his last 4 starts. Miami should snap their 4 game skid tonight.

Today’s pick:

Miami Marlins

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been on a roll, winning their last three games on the road. Look for that to continue tonight in Colorado. The Bucs know that with a win tonight and a Giants loss in San Diego, they’ll clinch a wild card berth. The lefty Happ is on the bump for the Pirates and he has been outstanding, posting an ERA of 1.93 and a WHIP of 0.86 over his last 3 outings. The Rockies have trouble with southpaws, winning just 8 of their last 36 against them. Couple this with Happ’s recent road record of 4-0 and the Pirates should get the win.

Today’s pick:

Pittsburgh Pirates

Dodgers should snap their 2 game skid tonight at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks.The lefty Anderson gets the call tonight for LA. The Dodgers are 5-1 in his last 6 starts, and are 38-14 at home against teams with a losing record. Arizona has not fared well at Dodger Stadium, posting a 5-16 record over their last 21 games. Dodgers should get this one.

Tonight’s pick:

Los Angeles Dodgers

Twins snap their 5 game skid at home against the Halos. Twins are 5-1 in Duffy’s last 6 starts.

Today’s pick:

Minnesota Twins

What is wrong with Houston? I’ll tell you everything. Lay off them until they turn it around. I like Nats today. Zimmerman is on the hill and he is 7-1, in his last 8 home games against the Marlins.

Today’s pick:

Washington Nationals
